Well, I had a job for three and a half days. Windshield chip repair. Actually, I never repaired any, because the job is mostly sales and I didn't get that far.

It was kind of a mutual agreement thing. They didn't really think I would work, and I didn't really want to work for them. The reason my sales were so low is because I trained with one guy who didn't write my name on any of the sales I did, so my records look like I've been selling an average of one per day.

But it was a super high stress job, and I know I couldn't have handled it for the summer. The people who excel are in-your-face, arrogant, loud, and full of themselves. I'm not any of those, so I knew I wouldn't succeed very well.

But I made some money, got paid more per hour than I ever have, so that's good.

I'm half relieved that I don't have to worry about that anymore, and half bummed that I don't have the security of a job. I console myself, though - they would have probably let me go within a week anyway.

And I'm glad I have someone to vent a little anger on - that guy who trained me and didn't give me credit for six sales we did.

Anyway, now I'm looking for another job.
